Alliance plans to boost the ACCA NEDonBoard-certified community in the UK, equipping them to strengthen board best practices
ACCA has chosen NEDonBoard, Institute of Board Members, as its preferred partner to empower ACCA members in non-executive roles, to equip them with skills to strengthen board practices and enhance the organisations they join. This partnership brings together two leading professional bodies, working jointly to build a strong community of board-ready ACCA members.

We’re delighted to announce this partnership with NEDonBoard through which we hope to encourage more ACCA members to contribute their talent and experience as NEDs.
‘An exciting aspect of this partnership is the opportunity to strengthen ACCA’s community of NEDs. Our partnership will support us to build creative, meaningful and practical support for our members in this work.’
The partnership aims to support ongoing professional development and growth while cultivating a dynamic and collaborative network.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to empower these professionals with a clear pathway to board roles, and the resources, recognition, and continuous development they need to make meaningful contributions and be impactful.’
